Doesn't even compare to 1992 Dracula. Not even close.

Nor to the 1931 Dracula.

This was certainly a well made movie, but it just didn't land for me. No interest in watching it again.

Agreed. Really well made "meh".

Just watched this and thought it was interesting.

Watched it this weekend on Peacock and I thought this movie was great. I really appreciate how much thought Eggers put into the story and the visuals to accompany it. In most modern movies the darkness really bothers me but it worked for this film, it wasn't black and white, but not full color either. I think the only times we got full color on screen were indoors but at night so the movie was just permeated with darkness in all the shots. Even outdoor daytime shots there was fog or something keeping the sunlight out. I thought the creature design was solid, an old man who you couldn't tell how old he was, so old he's decayed, yet still physically large and intimidating. I appreciated how he arrives in London and basically brings the plague with him, just really hammering home what kind of presence Nosferatu was. All the acting was great but Lily-Rose Depp was awesome, if they cast that part wrong the whole movie could have fallen apart. I thought Dafoe was having the most fun, he was probably my favorite character.

Highly recommend if you haven't seen it yet.

I loved The Witch, this was like watching paint dry.

I felt the exact same way about the Vvitch.

Finally got around to watching. I think someone said it well earlier, technically it is very well done. A master class in cinematography, setting, mood, and period capture. Bit felt it came up short on entertaining and engaging the chill factor. Great to look at, but hard to get excited over. Have zero desire to watch again.
